|Video Transcript|
Nicole: It’s exciting that he wants to hear from us.
Brandon: I love it. Tell it to Francis.
Nicole: It’s been a great grace that he invited our responses. Things that excite us and the things that dishearten us and … Our concerns, our hopes.
Erin: But I feel like in some issues, it’s not clear enough of what is right and what is wrong.
Qai: Just like if I can be inspirational in any way, then I try to be.
Brandon: For me, social media … I grew up in a very limited place and the base that was following me back at home — they get to see the world through my lenses.
Anna: Thank you for being more open and showing to the world that the Catholic Church is universal.
Armando: And to really see us as the next light at the end of the tunnel for this world.
Nicole: If the Pope asks us to utilize something that we’re already using every day anyway on our smartphones? Why not use that time to speak directly to Pope Francis? He’s asking for us to do it.
Tell It to Francis.
|Transcripción de Video|
Nicole: Es emocionante que quiera saber de nosotros.
Brandon: Me encanta. Díselo a Francis.
Nicole: Ha sido una gran bendición que haya solicitado nuestras respuestas. Cosas que nos excitan y las cosas que nos desaniman y… Nuestras preocupaciones, nuestras esperanzas.
Erin: Pero me siento como en algunos temas, no está claro lo que está bien y lo que está mal.
Qai: Al igual que si puedo ser inspirador de todos modos, entonces trato de serlo.
Brandon: Para mí las redes sociales… Crecí en un lugar muy limitado y la base que me seguía en casa? Pueden ver el mundo a través de mis lentes.
Anna: Gracias por ser más abiertos y mostrar al mundo que la Iglesia Católica es universal.
Armando: Y vernos realmente como la próxima luz al final del túnel para este mundo.
Nicole: Si el Papa nos pide que utilicemos algo que ya estamos usando todos los días en nuestros teléfonos inteligentes? ¿Por qué no usar ese tiempo para hablar directamente con el Papa Francisco? Nos está pidiendo que lo hagamos.

Fresh off of his fat joke about the President at the Vatican on Wednesday morning, Pope Francis stops by The Late Show to keep the Trump burns rolling.

Pope Francis - A Man of His Word is intended to be a personal journey with Pope Francis, rather than a biographical documentary about him. The pope’s ideas and his message are central to this documentary, which sets out to present his work of reform and his answers to today’s global questions.

The film’s direct-to-camera visual and narrative concepts engage the audience face-to-face with the pope, creating a dialogue between him and, literally, the world. Taking questions from people of all walks of life, Pope Francis responds to farmers and workers, refugees, children and the elderly, prison inmates, and those who live in favelas and migrant camps. All of these voices and faces are a cross section of humanity that join in a conversation with Pope Francis.

While this “symphony of questions” provides the backbone for the film, it also shows the pope on his many journeys around the world, with footage of him speaking at the United Nations, addressing the Congress of the United States, mourning with those gathered at Ground Zero and at Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem. He speaks to prisoners in correctional facilities and to refugees in Mediterranean camps. We see him travel to the Holy Land (Palestine and Israel) as well as to Africa, South America and Asia.

Throughout the film, Pope Francis shares his vision of the Church and his deep concern for the poor, his involvement in environmental issues and social justice, and his call for peace in areas of conflict and between world religions. There is also a presence of Saint Francis in the film, connecting back to the pope’s namesake, through accounts of legendary moments in the Saint’s own life as a reformer and ecologist.

In an era of deep distrust of politicians and people in power, when lies and corruption and alternative facts are the order of the day, Pope Francis - A Man of His Word shows us a person who lives what he preaches and who has gained the trust of people of all faith traditions and cultures across the world.

Pope Francis - A Man of His Word is produced by Mr. Wenders with Samanta Gandolfi Branca, Alessandro Lo Monaco (The World’s Smallest Army), Andrea Gambetta and David Rosier (The Salt of the Earth). The film is a production of Célestes Images, Centro Televisivo Vaticano, Solares Fondazione delle Arti, PTS Art’s Factory, Neue Road Movies, Fondazione Solares Suisse, and Decia Films.
